Klipsch's most affordable Reference bookshelf speakers yet
What's better than great sound? Great sound that doesn't break your budget. The RB-41 II speakers easily fill smaller rooms with powerful, lifelike Klipsch® sound at an entry-level price. Building on the previous Reference models, the Series II have updated drivers and a new crossover system for even more spacious sound. They're equally impressive whether you're watching a movie or listening to music.

Horn technology for "front row" sound
All Reference Series II speakers feature a redesigned version of Klipsch's famous horn-loaded tweeter. Because high-frequency sounds are more directional than bass frequencies, it's especially important to target them right toward your ears. Klipsch places their titanium tweeter inside a flared opening, known as a "horn," which disperses the highs evenly across your listening area in a 90°-wide, 60°-high pattern. With their Series II speakers, Klipsch has redesigned the shape and slope of their famous horn enclosure, so your movie soundtracks and music will sound more "open," with improved dynamics and efficiency. All in all, you can count on powerful, "front row" sound that's crystal-clear at all volume levels.

High-tech driver design
The RB-41 IIs also use newly machined, light-yet-rigid Cerametallic woofers with a folded edge to produce smoother mids and tighter bass. The specially treated aluminum in the cones help to dampen unwanted vibrations and reduce distortion, while an integrated dustcap gives them a cleaner look and adds stability. And the rigid, braced cabinets come in a handsome woodgrain vinyl finish.

Check out the rest of our Klipsch lineup, and build a complete Reference Series II home theater or stereo speaker system. And don't forget to add a Klipsch subwoofer for high-impact bass.

Why choose bookshelf speakers?

Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.

Great speakers

Had some hand me down Paradigm speakers from my brother which eventually blew out so I needed these for the surround back speakers. They are awesome in sound and response and very efficient. The sound is so nice that I now run music in 5 channel stereo (setting on my Denon) instead of regular stereo to get the full Klipsch sound in my room. Love these.

Excellent sound

I bought two pair of the RB-41 II speakers for my surround and rear surround.I must say i am totally impressed,These speakers sound great.I put them to the test and hooked them up front and played music from my iPhone via Bluetooth through my receiver, Blu-ray movies and concert dvd's and they sound excellent.Crisp highs excellent mid's and respectable lows for such a small woofer.

Pros:Excellent sound,lightweight and easy to hang using ceiling mounts.

Great sound and value

Great sounding right out of the box. I have them paired up with a Klipsch 8 inch sub and they made a nice seamless match to the sub and a very good sound stage. I bought these to make a 2.1 small HT. I tried a couple of sound bars and for me they just do not cut it especially for music. For around the cost of a decent sound bar I have a very nice 2.1 HT in MHO.

Very Pleased

Purchased Klipsch speakers to replace an old theater in a box system. There is no comparison and sound is nothing short of amazing. After also comparing Bose and Polk - Klipsch won out on sound quality and value. They brought our movie viewing experience to a whole new level. Very pleased with this purchase.

Compact with a big sound.

I have a preference for smallish bookshelf speakers of this size for stereo music listening. They are truly bookshelf speakers that do not dominate the room they're in. Pair them with an inexpensive subwoofer tucked out of the way and you get a very satisfying sound. I've tried larger and more expensive bookshelf speakers, but I feel like these Klipsch RB-41's will give you 80% of the sound quality of much larger and expensive speakers for a quarter of the price. I did compare them with the Audioengine P4's and found the difference to be a toss-up. They both sounded great. My wife preferred the looks of the Klipsch RB-41's (grill removed) so I went with the Klipsch.

Great value, will probably buy another pair soon

Impressive speakers for the price and size. Not as finicky to location as directions led me to believe. Would defintiely recommend using in conjunction with a subwoofer to maximize their potential, but impressive alone.

Pros:Sound great, look great.

Cons:Definitely limited in how much power they will accept if used as a single pair.

great little speaker

I finally completed my reference system. I'm using RF62 towers, RC62 center RS42 surrounds, RB 51 wides, 2 RW10d subs and 4 of these (RB41) for front high and rears. The system is fantastic. These little speakers complement the system beautifully. Klipsch is top line without spending a fortune to build a great home theater system. Great price form Crutchfield and super fast service.

Great Bookshelf Speakers

Just purchased these speakers for use w/ my PC. I have the speakers hooked up to a Peachtree Audio Musicbox integrated amplifier (also a great device) and a Yamaha YST-FSW150 compact subwoofer. It makes for an amazing soundsystem in my home office area of our living room. The speakers are beautifully crafted, a relatively compact size and produce excellent sound quality. I could not be happier and would recommend that anyone looking for small bookshelf speakers consider the Klipsch RB-41 II's (as well as the Yamaha).

Bedroom Setup

Written By cecil27455, Chigreenslando on Tuesday, May 15, 2012

I brought these speakers for my bedroom my fiance was mad, about the old polk monitor 40s i had. These were just the ticket perfect in size and great sound. Now i have the same sound in my bedroom as in my livingroom.

Klipsch Reference RB-41 II

These were a perfect choice for my Onkyo TX 21 amp/receiver(1982 version). Since they are very small, they fit perfectly on the bookshelf. The sound is a tremendous upgrade from my previous speakers. Excellent for a small room (12X18) and low watt amp.

Great small speakers

Upgraded to a pair of these from an old pair of JBL Control 1's and the difference is staggering. Very clear throughout the entire range and surprisingly good on the low end. Using them as the main left and right in our living room with a dedicated sub to round out the low end. Their size makes them easy to place about anywhere and the sound quality is great. Worth the money.

Klipsch B41 II Book shelf speakers

Written By ScottyC, Omaha, NE on Wednesday, March 30, 2011

We really like these speakers as they provide big sound in a small package. I paired them up with some Bose 201 rears and a JBL horn center channel speaker. I use a 12' Klipsch subwoofer that thumps the neighborhood. We mainly listen to Jazz, rock music, Christian rock etc. Movies tend to be on the action side but since we also have a 10 year old and a 2 year old, we do have our Pixar collection:)...Even without the subwoofer on, these small speakers deliver enough bass to satisfy a decent sound parameter for music especially jazz with a big horn sound. I had Bose 301's for my fronts but they sounded a bit muted compared to the wide open range of the Klipsch product. For the money, these speakers offer crystal clear sound for both music and movies, You may need to adjust the treble downward to avoid the slight tinny sound but all-in-all I have really enjoyed the clear sound and they do compliment my over all sound system. I am using a Onkyo THX 608 for my surround receiver. I would recommend these speakers above all small book shelf speakers. The room we run them in is 14X18 and it shakes the floors and windows in our home. If you are going for a bigger space such as a basement rec-room, you may need to go up in size as I am running Klipsch stacks in the bigger more wide-open space of our home. Highly recommend these speakers for small to midsized surround and music rooms.

Product Research

Driver Technology

Highly-Efficient Design: The Klipsch RB-41 II utilizes a
highly efficient design to produce more output using less power & energy for
louder sound with less distortion. The RB-41 II is able to fill smaller rooms with outstanding, accurate, non-fatiguing
sound that you can listen to for hours.

Cerametallic Woofer: The 4.0-inch woofer of the RB-41 II features Klipsch's distinctive, copper-colored Cerametallic cones. Made with an anodized
aluminum, these cones are strong and dent resistant. The anodizing process
converts their inner and outer surfaces to ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone
with superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at
frequencies within the woofer's operating range. The 4.0-inch woofer also
employs a rubber surround for added durability.

Crossover Network: For signal purity and perfect driver
integration, the crossover on the RB-41 II features the finest components and
Klipsch custom internal wiring.

Enclosure Design

Bass Reflex Enclosure: The dual 4.0-inch Cerametallic cone
woofer and 1.0" titanium diaphragm compression driver are mounted in a bass
reflex enclosure which features a single rear-firing port. The RB-41 II's rigid
cabinet offers improved internal cross-bracing to minimize panel vibrations that
can color sound and a rear-firing port to eliminate turbulence noise. A
black metallic finished baffle around the horn mouth
and woofer dramatically improve acoustics across the sonic range. The bass reflex enclosure
features a MDF cabinet finished with a Black Ash wood-grain vinyl veneer.

Magnetic Grille: The bookshelf loudspeaker features a
removable magnetic grille which easily snaps into place over its cast-aluminum
front baffle. The speaker can be used with or without its grille in place.

Connections

Binding Posts: Each bookshelf loudspeaker is equipped
with one pair of sturdy binding posts to ensure a secure connection to many
types of speaker cables and connectors. The binding post terminals will accept
banana plugs (single only), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and bare wire.

Mounting Options

Rubber Feet: Each bookshelf speaker comes supplied with eight
self-adhesive rubber feet (4 for each speaker) so you can sit the speakers on a
stand or shelf securely. The rubber feet add approximately 0.3125" to the height
of each speaker.

Wall Mounting: Each Klipsch Reference bookshelf speaker
feature a single keyhole slot on the back of the cabinet for wall-mounting the
speaker without any additional wall-mount bracket (mounting screws not
supplied). There is also a 1/4"-20 threaded insert on the back of each
loudspeaker for mounting the speaker to the wall using an optional articulating
bracket (sold separately).

Placement: The Reference Series bookshelf loudspeakers are
designed to perform well in a wide variety of locations but you will get the
most out of the speakers by following these simple guidelines.

Place the front left and right speakers on shelves or stands with their
tweeters at approximately ear height for a seated listener. When used
surround sound speakers, they normally perform best when placed slightly
higher than ear level.

The bookshelf loudspeakers should be equal distance from the floor and
the wall behind them. It can also helps to have the left and right speakers
at different distances from their nearest side walls. This sort of
staggering helps smooth the bass range.
